## Resource

Atlanta Braves gear up for the 2026 MLB Draft with tough decisions looming at pick 9. Could top prospect Jacob Lombard redefine the Braves’ farm system, or will they target under-the-radar prep arms like Gio Rojas to maximize draft capital and fill critical needs at catcher and pitcher? Jake Mastroianni, Gaurav, and Matt Powers tackle fan questions on sleeper high school picks, the impact of recent international signings like Alfredo Sena, and the organization’s evolving draft philosophy. They debate strategies for rounds two and three, profile potential breakout names such as Daniel Jackson, and break down the pros and cons of targeting athletic high-upside prospects over proven college bats. Will Atlanta’s draft-day approach set a new course for playoff contention, or will tried-and-true methods shape the next wave of Braves stars?
